The Sens of View. Photographic eye in modern poetry

Abstract

How did the photographic revolution also affect poets? Using detailed analyses and panoramic flights, Le Sens de la View presents a vast body to trace the tortuous pathway of photography imaginaries to the poets of modernist times. The relationship between literature and photography between 1900 and 1930 is presented in all their complexity: of the most specific — taking of views, development and printing, collections, self-visualisation, insertions in publications — at the most abstract — varied and imaginary references to the photograph in poetic texts. The survey shows a transformation, in the first decades of the century, of the poetic eye and visual relationship: the description radicalises and evolves towards the postcard model for living and presence effects. Thanks to photography, historical foresight and modernism are emerging in a new light. Rare or poorly commented texts from Apollinaire, Mac Orlan, Fargue, Reverdy, Segalen, Roussel, Morand, Cendrars, Albert-Birot and Larbaud are called together with numerous journals and anthologies. While giving an abundant iconography a central place in reflection, the book revisits literary history and takes a new look at the foresight, in continuity with a wider poetic history. Through the history of vernacular photography and the privileged relationship between poets and visuals, this book makes an important contribution to the study of poetic modernism in France.
